The large liberal donors that shunned Hillary start to fund him. People want to back a winner that's why the large donors didn't invite Hillary to their summit. http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/progressive-donors-dont-invite-hillary Hillary's support like last time is a mile wide and an inch deep.

Hillary looks like, well like she did in the 2008 debates and starts to lose support again.

Sanders wins!!!

I even think he can do it as an independent if he wants. I think the Country is sick of both parties and for what they stand.
